Oddbean new post about login | logout Yes, literally 10x more. Some of ya'll who purchased my two tracks have been VERY generous with your support, and I am SO GRATEFUL. I am also grateful for anyone who streams it on the platform of your choice. But I made $16.12 in the last 2 years from streaming & sales on streaming. On Bandcamp, I've made $161.78. It's not giraffe money by any means. It's not even grocery money. But it IS "I can prove to the DOL that I run a legitimate business" money. It's "someone likes my art" money. 🙏 ❤️
@c53d74b8 Hugely agree with you on streams vs BandCamp. I’ve made a VERY modest amount of money from BandCamp this year (less than £50) but it’s practically a Scrooge McDuck vault of money compared to the dust particles of cash I get from streaming. I’m so glad BandCamp exists.
@c53d74b8 @38bb0509 i have just the oposite experience. Dust particles from BC and $200-400US per month from streaming.
@402ce333 @38bb0509 That's great! It definitely depends on genre, too. I know rap and some edm genres do well on Soundcloud, and Metal fans aren't big on streaming services like Spotify. It seems like a "know where the fans of your type of music already are, and be where they are" type of deal.
@c53d74b8 I make more money on Bandcamp from a single album sale than I make on the entirety of streaming + iTunes et al in a year and I mean Bandcamp doesn't pay me all that well, it's like enough for maybe one small bag of groceries per month, but like yeah
